Why Do People Listen to Long Music Videos on YouTube?
YouTube is no longer just a platform for music videos and official clips. Over the past decade, it has become a major space for music consumption in long formats—especially instrumental or ambient playlists that can last for hours. These videos often feature static or slightly animated visuals: a person studying, a train moving through a landscape, or a fantasy illustration with ambient lighting. They are often labeled as “lofi,” “study music,” or “ambient music.”

A Gamer’s Heart: 12 Games That Never Left Me. AI-Generated.
12. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon The game that hooked me with music as much as gameplay. This one felt different from the jump. It had charm, color, and a weird energy I was drawn to—but what really made it stick was the soundtrack. I loved the music in this game, and I still do. There’s one track in particular—the Surrender Robot theme, “Dharmanyo”—that I still listen to even now. Sometimes I’d play the game just to hear certain songs again. It was fun, offbeat, and full of personality. One of those games that quietly became a favorite, and still holds a space in my memory that nothing else touches.

The Curse of the Rocket
When greed awakens what should have slept forever In the middle of a barren desert, where the winds whispered like restless ghosts, a team of treasure hunters set out on an expedition.
